Just talked with Sawfiler and he said there is a LOT of water, with more on the way. Took him 2 hrs to make 60 miles, but he was bout home. said the folks heading back to east NC where gonna have it rough trying to get home. Real mess.

But on a good note....for my first classic? I really enjoyed myself, Pappy , his lovey wife Jonie, and all the classic  gang are top shelf people. Thanks all. I will return! 8)

The first night of storms wasn't so bad, just a lot of water and lightning.  Seemed like everything was going well by the time I left. (saturday)

Yeah, it was a bit interesting trying to find a non-flooded way to get east of the storm front not being too familiar with the area, but we made it home ok. There is definitely some water on the ground down there.

We made it home, we hit some pretty good rain in Kentucky last night, got home here today after a night in a motel in Illinois and it was sunny and 72 degrees.
Hope everyone else is safe and sound.

I got home safely about 8pm. Wade and I had a tension filled trip this afternoon. We got off secondary roads and finally on to I-40 at Carthage Tn. and found out later we just missed a tornado shortly after we hit the interstate. The wind was blowing torrential rain horizontally across the highway so heavy we could hardly see the road ahead of us. The creeks and rivers along our route were all way out of their bands and crossing the road in some places.
  Timo, it was great to finally meet you. Those delicate bows of yours sure did make me drool...and seeing the arrows you made famous in your article in PA was a treat also.  I hope to see you there again next year.
 VB, Good trade!!! ;)
  meximike, your filntknapping is outstanding and especially the chef's knife. Nice to meet you also.
  It takes a lot to get this wonderful group of folks down! Not even 14" of rain with the threat of tornadoes can spoil their fun...or was it the spring water!  ;D

Hope no body has had any major problems on their way home, and at least are all safe. I couldn't come in to work my normal way this morning due to a road being closed and under several feet of water by the looks of it.
